Comparing: Cruiser Mk. I vs. Pz.Kpfw. 38H 735 (f) vs. Pz.Kpfw. I

The first cruiser tank in the British arsenal. Development was started in 1934 by Vickers. A total of 125 vehicles were mass-produced from 1936 through 1937.

In May 1940 the French Army had more than 800 vehicles of this type, most of which were captured by the German forces. They were widely used by the Wehrmacht to supplement existing armor.

The Pz I Ausf. A was the first mass-produced German tank. In 1935 the design received an upgrade, including elongated hull and a more powerful engine. Mass production of this version, the Pz I Ausf. B, eventually totalled 675 tanks. The standard armament was weak, but some tanks were upgraded on the battlefield to mount 20-mm guns.
